A motorcyclist is dead after a crash on Interstate 75 in Whitley County.
Kentucky State Police say the crash happened just before 10:00 a.m. Monday on I-75 northbound near the 13-mile marker, just north of the Williamsburg city limits.
According to KSP’s initial investigation, 48-year-old Scott Szczesny, of Wisconsin, was traveling on a motorcycle northbound on I-75 when, for unknown reasons, he exited the right shoulder and entered a wooded area.
Whitley County EMS attempted to save his life, but the coroner pronounced Szczesny dead just before 11:00 a.m.
KSP says that speed is believed to be a contributing factor to the crash.
The investigation is ongoing.
